Hi Guys,

Really sorry about the lack of updates the past week or so. I will be posting far more regularaly starting next week.

I’ve been working on a new theme gallery for the blog. Unfortunately the original design I had done ended up causing difficulties with a funky navigation script I was planning on using, and no matter what I tried, I couldn’t get it to work, so starting from scratch its not as funky, but it will definitely serve the purpose and make it far easier to view any themes I put up.

I’ve basically finished the script now so I’ll just be checking compatibility with both the screen orientations (Normal Screen and Widescreen) before uploading and linking the theme’s themselves. The gallery will be online and fully functional on or before Monday Sunday (at the latest) so be sure to check out then and give me some feedback / suggestions.

Thanks for all your patience so far. Getting the blog started has taken longer than I had hoped but this should be it now and I’ll be able to bring you a lot more reviews etc instead of silence.

Also I *THINK* there’s a problem with the header image which I will be attempting to fix (It displays fine on my machine, and my work machine, however it doesn’t on my mobile (it looks like the text is off centre) and in the post preview panel in the blog’s admin.

If anyone could confirm this that would be helpful, as well as maybe providing a screenshot if possible.

Thanks again, and come back in a couple of days

Just a quick note to let you all know that I am still here

I’ve been working on the theme gallery quite a lot but unfortunatly it has thrown a problem at me which I am trying to resolve.
Once that’s fixed it’ll be up and running with some new themes and will be easier for you to view and download the themes.

I’m also working on a couple of application reviews which should be up in the next day or two.

Thanks,

K

As you can see, I have added the categories down the sidebar, but as a result I now have a mysterious white space above the top post so I’ll see if I can get rid of that shortly.
Also, by adding the latest posts back into the sidebar, an error occurs but it seems like a pretty simple problem to fix so they should be back shortly.

I’d like to thank everyone who provided feedback and suggestions. It’s greatly appreciated and if you have any more feel free to let me know

I’ve compiled a list of things I am going to do with the blog, mainly filled with your suggestions so keep your eyes peeled for some updates shortly.

In terms of the themes situation, that problem will be redundant shortly as I am building a theme gallery which is funkier and shouldn’t cause any issues in terms of downloading them.

Thanks again everyone, and keep reading!

Edit: Latest Post’s added to the sidebar.

I’m thinking. Without the readers a blog will fizzle out and dissapear right? So, I wanted to get some feedback from the readers.

If you could post a comment telling me what you like, what you dont like and most importantly, what you would like to see some/more of then I will do my best to provide you with what you want.

Be honest. Be brutally honest if you like. Some things I’ll change, some things I wont There will probably be some things that I can’t change but if you let me know, i’ll see what I can do

Thanks for reading X-Series, and thanks for Subscribing to/Advertising the blog.

As I havn’t had much time testing 3.5 exlusivly, it won’t be a 3.5 specific review. More a general review of Salling Clicker. If I find anything I think should be mentioned I will update this review, and make a post informing the readers

The long awaited Salling Clicker 3.5 has been released and along with support for newer handsets, there is a host of new features which I will cover here.

(more…)

I’ve added a Themes page which currently holds 5 of my favourite themes (tried and tested on the E61 and N73).
Head on over to the themes page and check it out.

Nokia has released some updates for iSync on MacOS X for those of you with new and as yet unsupported Nokia handsets.

First make sure you are running the latest version of MacOS X (10.4.9) by checking Software Update as some handsets have been added in this update (Nokia E61, Nokia N73 and more).

If your device is still unsupported, head over to the following URL and see if there’s an iSync update for your handset.

Well, it has been confirmed. The Nokia N95 is coming to Three in the month of June!

I was just chatting on the 3 Live Chat with one of their representitives about a different handset and an error I found on their website and as an afterthought asked if/when the Nokia N95 would be coming to Three and he told me it would be coming in the Month of June. I guess it might be put back a bit if they find any more problems with it but at least it’s confirmed that it is coming to Three so at least we have a guideline in terms of a release date.

One thing I have been meaning to do pretty much since I got the Nokia E61 (months and months ago) was to review it.
Now, first I will say that I am an impatient person. The network Three always seem to be the last to offer new phone’s, even though they are probably one of the more advanced networks.

Now, I will first start with where I found out about the Nokia E61.
I was watching the TV Show, Weeds (fantastic show) and the main character was reading a text on her mobile. As soon as I saw the screen I knew I had to have it. Big, Bright and the font looked fantastically smoothed.

So naturally I googled something along the lines of ‘What phone does Nancy have in Weeds’ hoping that someone had asked. I was lucky, they had. The result, the fantastic Nokia E61.

I immediatly went directly to Three figuring I’ll upgrade early. No chance, they didn’t have it (and it turns out they wouldn’t for a further 5-6 months). Ok, next stop, e-bay. Bingo. Found one, bought it, love it.

The downside to buying it from e-bay was that the Z and Y key’s are bound the wrong way around (the physical buttons are placed correctly but each will display the opposite letter), and most of the special characters are in the wrong places (Thankfully full stop, comma and colon are in the right place) and there was nothing I could do about it really. I considered asking 3 to repair it for me but considering they wanted to charge me £55 to stick a new joystick on my N73 (I got one off ebay for £2) I figured that they would charge me a hell of a lot more to actually get someone with an IQ somewhere above 3 to look at my E61.

(more…)

I contacted Three to ask if/when the Nokia N95 will be coming to Three and as usual they couldn’t tell me any information on if and when they will be releasing any handsets.

Useful as always!

I’ve read through various forums but there’s no definitive answer. Some people who work in Three stores say it’s coming, some say it’s been sent back for further testing, some say it’s not coming at all so I really don’t know.

All I can do is cross my fingers and hope as I’d really love to be able to get this phone without having to shell out a ton of money for one.

Anyone know anything I don’t?
